I decided to wait on the LORD!


Psalm 119: 97 AMP

Mem
“OH, how I love Your law! It is my meditation all the day.”

I woke up from a dream and I told my husband what I dreamt. In my dream, I was talking to someone and I said, I am so sick of collecting all kinds of stuff. She asked me like what? I said, “You know, new clothes, new shoes, new dishes and all kinds of new things for the house.” She said isn’t that what life is all about? I answered her and said “No, I feel that I am wasting my money on unnecessary stuff. I don’t have to be dressed in the latest fashion etc.”

My husband laughed and thought I was being philosophical. I believe I have come to realise all these things on earth won’t get me to heaven. Sure they are beautiful but I don’t really find any value in them.

The LORD wants us to invest our time in HIM. I believe that the LORD reminds us to spend time with Him. Psalm 84 verses 10 “For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand [anywhere else]’ I would rather stand [as a doorkeeper] at the threshold of the house of my God than to live [at ease] in the tents of wickedness.”

I think there are so many beautiful things on this earth but when I look at it, the shine has been lost on me. I am not drawn to it as I used to. I do want nice things but it won’t break my heart if I cannot get it. We are reminded to find our treasure in the LORD. Matthew 6 verses 19 to 21 “Do not store up for yourselves [material] treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in and steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart [your wishes, your desires; that on which your life centres] will be also.” I want to stay focused on the LORD and I will give up these beautiful things if that’s what it takes.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You, for all the beautiful things You have given me as a gift. I am so grateful for them. I am grateful that I am able to still come in humility to Your throne and worship You. Lord, all these blessings are wonderful and I love them so much. I realise that I am still in need of You each and every day. Yes, this world shines bright but in my eyes, You LORD shine brighter. I love and adore You in Jesus Christ’s name. Amen

2nd Wedding Anniversary!

Hey, hey it is my 2 nd anniversary!   This has been an interesting time in my life and I must be honest I am starting to see the changes in my own life.    Firstly remember I am a city girl with this bad ass attitude, my way or the highway.   Ah, now let me tell you that doesn’t work like this.   My husband has a firm hand over me and keeps me in toe.   I am still my own person and have many new interests.    How was my day today?   Well the normal, got out of bed at 04h30 and then left the house by 06h00 arriving at work at 07h00.   Then to top it off in an early morning meeting at 07h30 to 08h30, then back in the office.   I worked on three projects; getting information from people isn’t that easy.   I firstly completed my own scope of work, followed up with the suppliers and then going back to the next person.   As I work according to my time keeping schedule I then finally got to lunch time.   I...

Wisdom in Trusting God

Proverbs 3: 5-6 NIV “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.” My journey has been really interesting and there are days when I find it really difficult to trust in God.  On those days I go and make all kinds of plans and I think and worry about the matter at hand and at the end of that day I am tired, frustrated and I feel sick to my stomach.  Are you able to relate?   It sounds so easy when you read these words “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;”  Many times I take my problems to the LORD and I leave them with the LORD and after some serious thinking and worrying I go back to the LORD and take the problems back. This has been something I did for a number of years and lately, I have realized it has to change, I have to trust in the LORD.  After all, God is the creator and knows the plans for...
